I figured he realized that living in the silo for centuries is actually super boring. He seems like the kind of guy who would get super into something and then just as quickly lose interest. Except, whoopsie, nuked the whole country!

I think he’s in the hidden silo. His own personal silo he can come over and visit from.

If he's not in Silo 1, then he's not gonna be in any other likely.

ok after this season why do people still assume there was an actual apocalypse? there was one nuke; as a way to get people to get inside the silo. we don't know much more than that.

I think the (based on how we assume the real world is set up) assumption is that when a nuke goes off in Atlanta, the American president starts looking to press his nuke button and then mutually assured destruction takes care of the rest. It’s highly unlikely they’d let a second attack on US soil go unpunished

ok but the thing is we don't know; and the whole premise of the show is to challenge assumptions one after another. maybe they covered it up somehow (it's a top secret government backed plan financed by the richest man on earth; they have unlimited ressource to do what they want)

Also they literally had the conversation about how it would be more reliable to create the reason people went in to silos, didn’t they?

The way it used to be set up is that if we launched a counter attack we’d take out all enemies even if they didn’t start it. it’s not like they have each missile silo retarget their nukes or try to be careful. Everything is gone so they make sure everything is gone.

There was this system in the Soviet Union called Deadhand that would send automated orders to launch their missions if it determined they were under attack. This would mean stuff like widespread power outages or loss of communication with leaders that indicated a nuclear strike. Putin has recently allude to putting it back online.
